This is going on my 78x90.5 motor. FK7, AutoCraft 1.4's, Berg Wedgemated crank/12lb flywheel, 5.5 Eagle Rods, and 40x35.5 heads w/ some porting work. Here are some more pics of what I've been up to:




I polished my carb manifold yesterday at my parents' house:




Today, I got to working on my header and my intake end castings getting them ready for welding:



Mo bigger!





Then on to the aluminum thingys:

Port matching the intakes



Then I hacked off the input side of them, and hogged them out also...these will have 2" OD inlets now:





Got some welding done....

This still needs to be cleaned up


This will be my center section "T"


And the Goods!




Got a bit of time in the man cave, did some fitting, trimming, clocked the turbo for positioning, etc.... this is gonna be a snug fit in there. I'm going to have to modify the alt. stand in the cradle area. it's not a crucial area, but it's encroaching on my power adder space.

You have been busy. Any pictures of the VW?

Here's the most recent....

Nicely done cal Look semi sleeper. It makes me want to start on my 64.

I call it the Oregon look.

Is that the same as 'the Liberal look'?

Hippy.

More like stinkfoot.




























Sorry, couldn't resist.

Very nice car.
Should move along quite well also when you are done.

Crap Nick and Jes are on to me.


Thanks for the compliments and encouragement, but it will only be deserved once it's up and going.

Truth be told, I'm from So. Cal, I just happen to currently live in Oregon. Nice try though.

he is indeed a stinkfoot! but he shows that even a hippy can occasionally do well.

Define Stinkfoot...
